Hi,
	my hard disk (unix partition! :-( just got nailed by what an
anti-virus program claims is the "ANTI-TEL" virus. I didn't see it
run, but after it had done its dirty work my screen was filled with
messages saying something like "Campagna Telfonica (Barcelona)".
Needless to say the disk wasn't backed up :-((((( I'm wondering if ANY
of the data left on the disk is still valid....

If anyone can mail me a description of what this virus does in order
to assist me in fixing the disk, I'll be forever in your debt.... (I'd
be grateful for ANY information regarding it, actually....)

Many thanks,

- -Arup
